Tempest 128

Overview

Players must guide their horseshoe-shaped craft around the edges of 3-D geometric shapes. Enemies at the far end of the playing field move toward the player, and must be shot before they reach the edge. Players can also deploy their "Super-Zapper" once per level to clear the screen of enemies. Each level is a different shape, and progressive levels add new enemy types and more of them, requiring ever-faster reflexes.

1. Be sure the CAPS LOCK (ASCII/DIN) key is not pressed before loading the game! (Really weird, huh?)

2. Insert the disk and just type RUN"*" (or press Shift + Run/Stop) ... might need to change if not disk unit 8...

3. After the game loads, press F1, F3, or F5 to give yourself some credit(s)

4. Once you have credit(s), press 1 or 2 (above the Q,W keys) to start a 1 or 2 player game

5. In the game you can use:

Keyboard - Cursor Keys (at top) or numeric keypad (2=down, 6=right, 8=up, 4=left) and Shift to fire

Joystick in game port 2

Mouse in game port 1

In any case, press the SpaceBar to use your ZAP ability (once per level).
